The daily participant contribution is $36 per day.

Truly Person-Centred Care

CARE AND SUPPORT SERVICE

Unlike traditional aged care, our services are completely tailored to your individual needs and wants. No competing with 100 others to get assistance. No set meals times like feeding time at the zoo. We offer individual support that encourages you to do what you like, when you like and where you like.
The daily care fee covers the costs of having someone available 24/7 in our home. Each house companion is provided with ongoing training, holds mandatory qualifications in aged care and dementia care and has undergone national criminal record screening.

The care fee also covers :

Fees for supports are covered by your NDIS package and is calculated depending on the level of support required. Our rates are all below the NDIS Pricing Arrangement amounts.

ADDITIONAL SERVICES

Our care and services offering is completely customisable and only limited by your imagination. If its possible in Australia, then it’s possible at Community Home Australia. From a night out at the theatre to fully customised medical equipment, we can arrange it all.

Community Home Australia is your private concierge that can arrange anything to meet your needs, wants and desires. This is what person centred care is all about.

DAY THERAPY & COMMUNITY CAFE

Club Kalina is our day program which is held in conjunction with the Canberra Community Cafe and located in the heart of Tuggeranong. It offers a safe place for people in the ACT community living with dementia and disability to come, enjoy the company of others, seek support and advice and share a meal.

For carers, this program offers much needed respite so they can do the shopping, banking or other required tasks or just simply have a break.

The Club is open from 9 am to 5 pm Monday to Friday including Public Holidays and can include Breakfast, Morning Tea, Lunch, and Afternoon Tea.

FEES & CHARGES

As a not for profit charitable organisation, we are not out to make huge sums of money and started this project as a social enterprise to help Australians find the care they need and avoid traditional institutional aged care facilities.

We don’t have a huge back office or marketing team to support and don’t pay our directors and executives obscene amounts of money to sit in an office. We build lasting relationships with local organisations and service providers to ensure we get quality goods and services at the best price. By keeping operations lean and investing in efficient technologies, we can keep our fees and charges as low as possible.

 

Our transparent flat fees allow you to plan your life forward:

For Club Kalina day program guests, we have just two simple fees:

For guests funded by the National Disability Insurance Scheme, all fees and charges are levied in line with the NDIS Pricing Arrangements at the time of service delivery.

We encourage all potential guests to seek independent financial advice so their personal circumstances can be taken into consideration
